No Politics "It grows out of a conviction that has been gathering force for a long time that the conduct of the business of a city Is and always should baa nonpartisan Job; that there Is no such distinction in municipal government as a Republican or Democratic method of taxation, street Improvements, police or fire protection, or, In fact, in the management of any of the numerous public business Interests. "There Is a sincere desire on the part of people of all occupations to have the business of the public conducted with the same economy and efficiency as Is the business of great factories, department stores and financial Institutions. "It Is the growing belief that the non partisan city manager plan of municipal government will secure this result. 330 Cities "Os the more than 330 cities that have adopted the city manager plan fewer than five has returned to the former political program. In all of these cities taxes have been reduced, greater efficiency In the police and fire departments has been secured and greater harmony and uniformity of method In the solution of municipal problems generally have been achieved. "Eminent thinkers and public men of affairs have approved the. city manager pl&n as the best form of city government yet devised.” Every class of citizens will be asked to co-operate with the Committee of 1(400, Cofin said. The petition, which will be filed within a few days with city council, asking an election on the question, will contain 40,000 names, is the aim of the committee. The necessary number is 20,000.

Coffin said that after the petition is filed an active campaign of education will be staged before the election. Literature will be dlstrlliuted, meetings will he held and special speakers detailed to set forth in detail advantages of city manager plan as experienced in other cities.
